Help with PDF file

by doughboy Aug 3, 2007 5:13AM PDT

I have Windows XP Home with 512mb 80gb. I'm using SBC Yahoo Browser 6.0. I am having problems downloading PDF files when I click on a PDF link I get an error message can not download from popup. Can someone please let me know how I can fix this. Thanks.

The error message says "can not download from popup",or does it say something else?

Which version of adobe do you have?

"I am having problems downloading PDF files when I click on a PDF link I get an error message can not download from popup."

I have seen something similar to this happen when actually viewing a PDF file and the situation was that after I had opened the PDF -- for viewing in either the browser or perhaps Acrobat itself since I don't remember how it was opened -- that the option to save it from this process was not allowed. However, by closing the Acrobat reader or the browser page, I could then click to save the PDF from the actual Web site. Hope this is the scenario you're caught in also.
